PROPER-TY. Be it ordained by the City Council of Pleasant Grove City, Utah County, State of Utah, as follows : SECTION 1: For the purpose of this Ordinance, Or-dinance, certain words and phrases shall be defined as follows: ( a ) Accessory buildings and uses: Subordinate secondary , structures and uses , necessary for the ; conduct of the primary . approved use will be . considered when . clearly incidental. For j example garages and ( carports, refuse en- j closures and other j incidental storage , facilities, and security , sidered in the group of the general citizenry. Also considered, will be relief from the monotonous somewhat uniform subdividing of the countryside. It will be considered a positive factor if the development develop-ment provides an aesthetic relief. (d) Integrated development plan: Comprehensive management mana-gement for best assurance of maintaining main-taining standards and conditions of approval is the intent in the administration of the conditional use permit. Therefore, every assurance will be required to minimize the problems of enforcement en-forcement through approved management plans which have been negotiated in mutual interest, prepared by the applicant and approved ap-proved by the City. Single responsible management is felt crucial to consistent care and observance of binding regulations in assuring compatibility with the surrounding area. Agreed upon penalties for violations af the management plan are considered an important integral part af the conditional use veillance: When security is a paramount concern for a development, it may require continuous and complete surveillance to the degree that there are no public streets and access is through a guarded gate. Under these circumstances it is in the interests of the City to vary requirements sufficient to permit total control by a manager who can be held responsible for maintaining the standards of the conditional con-ditional use permit. (h) Temporary uses: Construction facilities, emergency facilities, and such other temporary tem-porary uses will be considered as well as those interim uses of land and buildings awaiting ultimate use, i.e. pasture for a few months before construction con-struction can begin, or a carnival, fair, sports field, etc. SECTION 2.
